When you have a great relationship with the individuals you lead, your leadership skills will be the most effective. Show the interviewer that you recognize a great relationship starts with clear communication, trust, and honesty. Tell the interviewer that you spend time genuinely getting to know your team.
For instance, perhaps you like to understand what activities they have going on both inside and outside of work, their kids' names, or if they have any pets. Building a relationship with your team will ensure that you can frequently and genuinely ask them how they are doing. The more comfortable they are, the better chance they will come to you for help in the workplace when they need it.

I want to have true knowledge of their life and a good understanding of their career goals. When my employees know that I can help them achieve their goals, they are more likely to be an engaged part of the team."

Great outlook. You are speaking to employee retention and client-centeredness which are highly desirable to your interviewer.
I believe my leadership skills are most effective when my team reflects shared happiness and effectiveness. I invest time and effort in each of my team members; I believe happy employees are more productive and are retained for a longer period.

I have found that getting to know my co-workers and making connections with them helps when teaching them new tasks. Earning their respect is important as well as making it fun. I have mostly been the only Respiratory clinic RN for the past year and have had to educate the others on triaging skills which were difficult at first as I am younger than most but being confident has helped my leadership skills.
